been obtained by the expiration of the Approval Date or such extension due to
delays created by the appropriate regulatory authorities in investigating and/or
considering regulatory approval, or matters outside the control of CIB, the
Approval Date shall automatically be extended until such time as such regulatory
authority has approved or denied such application and the expiration of all
applicable waiting periods.
